Life really is a beach on Podaca holidays – this dinky town doles out a duo of beaches and a couple of snug restaurants.
Zoom out on Croatia’s coastline and you’ll spy pretty Podaca on the sunny, southern half. It sits slap bang in the middle between Split and Dubrovnik – a two-hour drive from both. If that’s too far, there’s another big dog even closer, Makarska. Back at base, though, it’s all about beach, beach, beach.
Beach-wise, Podaca hit the jackpot. It’s got a pine-cuddled stretch on each side of town. For a quiet, pebbly patch, the main one sure goes the whole hog with facilities. There’s somewhere to eat, plus a watersports hut, where you can rent out jet-skis and boats.
What Podaca lacks in attractions, it more than makes up for in natural good looks. This place has a ringside seat of Mount Biokovo, which means the hiking’s top-notch. Or you’ll find plenty of sightseeing stuff in nearby Makarska. It's packed with Medieval churches, fit-for-a-king palaces and al fresco markets.
